A couple days ago I read about how Interscope may have purposely not release enough of TOS albums to the public so the album would not sale well. Of course at 1st I thought this was some retarded excuse to make up for the album not selling well. But then as the days past I started reading other articles that may very well make this true.
I mean it is well known that the top guys at Interscope and 50 haven't been seeing eye 2 eye since before the Curtis album was dropped.
They haven't been liking how 50 has been releasing free music on his website.
Last but not least the website is a threat the to all record companies all over.
Think about it. Other than the website. I never really saw any advertising for this album. Didn't see hardly no magazine advertising other than Source or XXL. Never saw videos on MTV or BET. Didn't hear anything on the radio.
Interscope really did not want this album to succeed. Because if it did, then how many other rap artist would have followed suit. Pretty soon you wouldn't need a major label at all. Just a website. The major labels can't have that. Eventually artist would just release their music through their websites only.
Its a shame. If that were to happen then these rap artist would be able to put out more quality music and not have to worry about what these industry a$$holes think. If this album were successful it would be good for all of hiphop.
Let me know what you think. But keep the hate comments to yourself. I just want REAL TALK!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about not havin enough copies.cause I been hearin niggas say there have been plenty of copies in the stores near them...but I do know personaly that I didn't get the album because of the whole young buck situation..
PRETTY SOON EVERY COMPANY WILL BE A WEBSITE. TOWER RECORDS, FYE AND BLOCKBUSTER ARE ALL LAYING EMPLOYEES OFF.
WHY PAY FOR MAN POWER AND REALESTATE WHEN YOU CAN SALE EVERYTHING ON THE NET!!
MOVIES ON DEMAND IS MUCH MORE CONVENIENT THAN HAVING LATE RENTALS!!!!!
SOON WE WILL BE COPING EVERYTHING OFF SOME SORT OF A WEBSITE!!!!
THE FUTURE WILL BE WEB BASED GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN!!!!
ITUNES,MOVIES ON DEMAND,THISIS50,ETC
